Finance Minister P Chidambaram today said, the government has pulled back the economy from a difficult situation and put it back on a high growth path. He rejected the description of his interim Budget as populist, and said 2014 interim Budget must be seen as part of getting growth back when the economy in the world is fragile. Mr. Chidambaram emphasised that the country has achieved goals in fair measure and will go forward if the governments follows the 10-point agenda he laid in Parliament, yesterday. He admitted that some mistakes had been made in the past but ensured that his successor will inherit, an improved and more stable economy which is growing and a world that is turbulent.
